powerpc/tm: Fix oops on sigreturn on systems without TM
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
commit f16d80b upstream.

On systems like P9 powernv where we have no TM (or P8 booted with
ppc_tm=off), userspace can construct a signal context which still has
the MSR TS bits set. The kernel tries to restore this context which
results in the following crash:

  Unexpected TM Bad Thing exception at c0000000000022fc (msr 0x8000000102a03031) tm_scratch=800000020280f033

The problem is the signal code assumes TM is enabled when
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is enabled. This may not be the case as
with P9 powernv or if `ppc_tm=off` is used on P8.

This means any local user can crash the system.

Fix the problem by returning a bad stack frame to the user if they try
to set the MSR TS bits with sigreturn() on systems where TM is not
supported.

Found with sigfuz kernel selftest on P9.

This fixes CVE-2019-13648.
